The Treasury House

The Treasury House is the main financial institution for Markarth and the Reach. It is on the first terrace above and in the northern area of the city. It provides financial support and services for the landowners of the Reach, notably the Silver-Blood family and its patrons. All the miners, farmers, and day-laborers of the Reach get their wages through the Treasury House. Rhiada runs the front desk, where the actual treasury is kept behind an expert-locked gate. Nana Ildene (who has worked there for over twenty years) and Donnel keep things tidy. Thonar Silver-Blood, who handles all of his family's business, effectively controls the establishment. Betrid, Thonar's wife and an admitted and unrepentant gold-digger, can also be found here.

The Treasury House

It is a large building, like all in Markarth is built into the hillside. From the entrance there is a short corridor to the main room with a large counter in front of you and raised areas in the southeastern and southwestern corners. There are stairs along the east and west wall leading to Thonar's quarters and a pair of twin bedrooms used by the employees. By the bottom of the stairs are stone tables and chairs, with numerous food barrels and sacks around the building. Most of the cookware in the building is high quality, including plates, bowls, jugs, goblets, etc. Rhiada will be stood behind the counter and make you unwelcome with comments about it only being for the employees of the Silver-Blood family.

On the raised section in the southeast corner is a woodcutter's axe on a barrel, a gourd on a crate and a cabbage on the floor. The table by the stairs holds the same as the other one, except it has a bottle of wine instead of alto wine. At the top of the stairs is a junction with a twin bedroom to the east and west. The one to the west consists of two owned single beds, one against a ledge to the south and the other against a ledge to the north.
